When is a cadet salute required in uniform?

• A. When meeting or addressing a commissioned or warrant officer, while in uniform.
• B. When walking past an officer.
• C. At all times.
• D. Only during parades.

Answer: (A)

Saluting in uniform is a formal sign of respect to officers. The moment you render a salute is when you meet or address a commissioned or warrant officer while you’re in uniform. This covers direct interactions where you acknowledge the officer’s rank and authority, such as greetings or introductions, and it’s the standard cue taught for proper cadet conduct. It isn’t about saluting merely for walking past someone or saluting at all times or only during parades. The most appropriate rule is to salute when you meet or address an officer in uniform, which is why this option fits best.
